Hello,
Again an idea or rather a wish.
Can a button be inserted into the widget_view_buttons that allows the input to be interpreted as rotation on a touchscreen, since the right mouse button is actually used here?
There is a similar function in the onboard keyboard that activates the right mouse button once and then jumps back.
This behavior also works in QtDragon, it's just a bit complicated to use.
Best wishes to everyone, Frank.

Did you try with two fingers?
Most touch screen monitors interpret two fingers as right click on a mouse.

Hello,
yes, I've already tried it. The monitor can do ten points, but LinuxCNC XFCE Desktop doesn't notice anything.
If I look for a Linux that can do these functions, LinuxCNC will definitely not run.
Thanks and best regards.

LinuxCNC now runs on any recent Debian based Linux, so Linux Mint Debian Edition 6, Debian 12.4 and latest Ubuntu, but skip Ubuntu, just skip it. 
You can also change the Desktop Environment on an existing isntallation without changing anything, GNOME and KDE Plasma are very good at using touch screens but do use Wayland (not X11) so some LinuxCNC user interfaces might not work yet. I think GNOME can still run under X11 and can be chosen when logging in, but i did not try it.
You can try installing Mate first to check if it works for you, i use it, it does "two finger" right click and LinuxCNC has no issues with it for now.
You can install any of those or all and choose at loging what to use.

Thanks,
for quick help. I'll set up a MINT on a new HD and try it out. Until recently I was still using a parallel port, so I was happy to have a system that was as slim as possible.
It will probably take me a few days to implement everything.
Many greetings to everyone Frank

Hello,
I have now installed the Mate Desktop.
At least the double-click on the left mouse button now works again, which was somehow lost in Bookworm XFCE.
That's about it for progress.
The monitor is a HANNS-G HT231 if that's any use.
It simply works under Windows, so I rule out defective hardware.
I'll test the other systems and see what happens.
Mint as a live system has no desire either.
After some searching I realized that under Linux it is only recognized as a dot ):
So I can't get any further down this path, I'm stupid.
Best regards Frank.

I have started some work to be able to have toggle buttons for zoom/pan/rotate selection for the mouse movement. It touches a lot of files so I will have to see if I feel it could be added to 2.9 or go in master.

Hello,
thank you for your interest and efforts.
But I don't want to keep them from more important tasks.
This certainly increases ease of use, but there probably won't be many users who need it. And it's not like it can't be turned at all, it just can't be done with your finger.
Or I can also switch it with the onboard keyboard, which contains such a function.
In my naivety, I assumed that if it worked on Windows without an extra driver, it would also work to some extent under Linux.
I personally have other wishes on my list that could certainly be useful for more users.
Kind regards Frank

Hello,
I just looked at it in VirtualBox under 2.10. Works well with the mouse, still need to test it on the touchscreen.
Thank you very much for the help.
Does a good job on the milling machine too, thank you very much.
Best regards Frank.
